highfive - Flybe have had problems in the past with very experienced pilots retiring from major airlines, or rather the pilots had a problem with Flybe. To be fair it was over 10 years ago and the main issue was the considerable roster disruption going on at the time. The guys in question (a batch all taken on at the same time) wanted to have a quiet end to their flying careers (as one would want) but Flybe messed them around (6 on 2 off, roster changes, unscheduled nightstops etc) to the point where they just dug their heels in and began saying no. In the end they all left by mutual agreement.
I doubt there is such a level of disruption these days but it's worth checking you'd get the lifestyle to suit you.
